Everything runs on your own server: no account, no API key, no image is sent anywhere.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>What it does<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Every new JPEG or PNG upload is converted to WebP at quality 82, which looks the same as the original.<\/li>\n<li>Every image size (thumbnail, medium, large\u2026) is rebuilt from the best file on disk, at the same pixel size, so your layouts do not change.<\/li>\n<li>PNG graphics and logos are kept pixel-exact (lossless WebP); PNG photos are compressed, keeping transparency.<\/li>\n<li>The old JPEG\/PNG files are deleted, but only after the new WebP has been written and checked, and the database has been updated.<\/li>\n<li>Links to the old files are updated in posts, pages, excerpts, Elementor and other JSON data, widgets and theme settings.<\/li>\n<li>Anyone who still asks for an old .jpg or .png URL (a cached page, an old link) is redirected to the WebP with a 301.<\/li>\n<li>Existing images can be converted one by one from the Media Library (list view, \"WebP\" column).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>Safety<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Nothing is deleted until the new file is verified.<\/li>\n<li>Images whose WebP would not be at least 10% smaller are left as they are.<\/li>\n<li>Files kept by the WordPress image editor for \"Restore original image\" are never touched.<\/li>\n<li>Wide-gamut photos (for example from iPhones) are skipped on servers with GD only, so their colours are not lost. Imagick keeps the colour profile.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>DigiNex Media Optimizer Pro<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/diginex.gr\/media-optimizer\/\">Pro add-on<\/a> converts the whole existing library in one go, in the background, with a savings estimate and progress. It also deletes the huge original uploads WordPress keeps next to the \"-scaled\" copies, adds quality, maximum size and PNG settings, and a WP-CLI command.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>Install and activate the plugin.<\/li>\n<li>Go to Media \u2192 Media Optimizer to check that your server can write WebP.<\/li>\n<li>New uploads are converted automatically. Convert existing images from Media \u2192 Library (list view).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p>Back up your uploads folder and database before converting existing images: the replaced files are deleted for good.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt id=\"will%20my%20images%20look%20worse%3F\"><h3>Will my images look worse?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>No visible difference at the default quality.
